The director of two engineering companies made Central Provident Fund (CPF) contributions totalling $4,736 to a Sats employee, even though the latter was not working for his firms, the Straits Times reported.
Court documents stated that Lim Ban Hock, 58, who was then the director of TK Engineering, did so to help Leong Poh Keong, also known as Kelvin, obtain a housing loan from HDB.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Bryan Wong said that at the time of the offences, Leong was a member of Sats’ tender evaluation committee.
The court heard that Lim had given the $4,736 as bribes to Leong to advance TK Engineering’s business interest with Sats – the main ground-handling and in-flight catering service provider at Changi Airport.
The prosecution said that in a separate incident, Lim gave Leong a bribe of $2,000 in the form of a loan, and Leong has not returned the money.
On Jan 8, Lim, who was also the director of a firm called Env-Pro Tech Engineering at the time of the offences, pleaded guilty to a graft charge involving $4,736.
A second graft charge linked to $2,000 and one charge of cheating the Housing Board will be considered during his sentencing in February.
